What players say

I've loved tower defense games ever since I was a kid. I've also always loved pokemon and other monster collectors. I can confidently say this is the best tower defense game I have ever played. The devs clearly put a lot of love into this project and it is evident in the end product. Multiple in depth skill trees, fun graphics and design, great UI, and lots of replayability. Cannot recommend this game enough!

W game This is a great tower defense game to have! It has fun creatures/towers to unlock, good meta progression, good maps, good upgrade choices in each run, good synergy, good abilities, good music/art/vibe. And more! I wish it had better steam deck support so I could play it more in bed ngl.

Absurdly fun. Only problem is that XP doesn't carry over to the next egg when you go over the XP needed to hatch your next egg. A bit flashy, too, would love more Settings to tinker with (runs fine tho)
